Isaac Levinson

AGE: 25 | ATLANTA, GEORGIA

THIS YEAR: It was a big year for Levinson. In addition to recovering from a broken back, Levinson won his second title as Green Race Champion and took home gold at the 2014 GoPro Steep Creek Championship on Homestake Creek, Colo. Rad footage from Levinson's trip to Mexico shows that an elite slalom background doesn't just help with creek racing- it's always a sure fire way to lay down enviable lines on waterfalls over 60 feet.
